Happiness at 2.67 a gallon

from JoeUser Forums
Follow the pipeline up
up up up up
must touch the clouds
jet of flame
why can't I see it?

And go finally
down down down down
Quickly louder, louder
as the drill pounds
why can't I feel it?

Earth
Giving up civilization's
life blood

Happiness to buy and sell
at 2.67 a gallon
what a bitch, 2.67

Not remembering
that unless you feel like walking
feet pounding pavement
unless you move
yourself

And,
As long as the rocks are
squeezed dry
As long as the dead give life
you will have to buy
your happiness at 2.67 a gallon.

*sigh* I remember when happiness was $0.99 a gallon....you think with all the happiness in Iraq that we could get some a little cheaper.

Great poem, btw Al...this style suits you quite well,

Thanks on that. I hear "that's a bitch" a lot when it comes to gas prices.
